Bella Hadid's Victoria's Secret night came in two very different acts. On the runway, she opened the show wearing a set of flower covered angel wings built for maximum spectacle. Hours later at the after-party, held at Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood, she swapped that fantasy look for something far more stripped down: a sheer black lace, mock neck minidress with a black bra and underwear visible beneath it.
A nod to an iconic 2001 moment
The silhouette read as a clear homage to the black lace minidress Britney Spears wore to the VMAs back in 2001, one of the most referenced looks of that era. Hadid's version swapped in long sleeves and a slightly different cut, but the sheer lace, the mock neckline, and the visible lingerie underneath all pointed back to that same early 2000s moment, now filtered through a current after party context.
